- Mrs. David Gale has recently taken
few days with her sister, Mrs. Ellen b.
ShurtleH Of st. Adams. 60 Before us is
the text OF the supreme court decision of
the case of Topsham rs. Williamstown, to
which alluson was made last week. Our
late townsman, Moses Ring, had married as
his second wife a woman who was born and
had always lived in Topsham. After this
marriage he lived in Topsham till his death,
December 20, 1871. Since May, 1872 Mrs.
Ring has been insane. Meantime she has
continued to live in Topsham, under guar
dianship. The property left her by her
husband having been used Topsham
sued this town for her support, claim
ing that her insanity and guardianship
had prevented her gaining a settlement in
her own right" Williamstown's defence
was that 81 she had gained settlement in
Topsham by seven years residence there
since December 20, 1871" the day of her
husbands death. Respecting the matter of
insanity in this case, the court says: The
legitimate effect of this is not to prevent
the pauper from residing, but to perma-
nently fasten the pauper's residence where
it was at the time the insanity supervened,
because of the impossibility of the pauper's
afterward going elsewhere with intent to
remove. 1t appears from the agreed state
ment that the pauper was in fact residing
in Topsham at the time she became in
sane. That being 80, her residence became
fixed there, and it is immaterial if she at
times afterward left town, such goings hav-
ing been coupled with no intent" Regard
ing the matter of guardianship" the court
adjudges that a guardian could not give
his ward new residence, even if he should
set out to do So" which "was not attempted
in this case"

THE reported sale of the Rutland railroad

THE reported sale of the Rutland railroad
10 the Delaware & Hudson is confirmed
AS possession cannot be given until Janu-
AIRY l, 1891, many things may occur mean
time to change the present outlook. The
change may not be of much benefit to Rut-
land, and may not affect Burlington injuri-
ously. A prominent railroad official, who
is not connected with either the Central
Vermont railroad or Delaware Il Hudson
Company, is quoted as saying that the own
ers of the Rutland railroad in 1891 would be
obliged to settle an immense claim for bet
terments before possession of the road could
be legally obtained. There were several
railroad rumors atioat during the week. 1t
was reported that the Central Vermont We're
about to secure control of the Northern, Con
cord Sullivan and Cheshire roads, but all
the reports appear to be groundless.

QUITE sensation was created at the rail-
road station here on Tuesday evening last
upon the reception by express of the body
of g. II. Underwood, or better known here
as Keezer, from Andover, n. H., sent here
by the town authorities. No one came with
it and no one here seemed to recognize the
body, though well known several years
ago to many. Communication with the ex-
press agent at st. Johnsbury on Wednes-
day brought the intelligence that the wife
and sister OF the deceased would be here that
day to claim the body. The town officials
here declined to pay express charges, but
offered to give the body burial, which was
done on Thursday, by order of the express
company. Keezer was sent to state prison
several years ago for stealing musical in
strument from the Methodist church here.
He was detected before he could get away
with it, the instrument being discovered at
the railroad station, where he had carried
it. We understand Keezer was discharged
from prison about two months ago. He was
killed or drowned by falling through a
bridge at Andover, n. H., according to a
physicians certificate received with the
body. - Temperature, December LIST, ten

Disastrous Fire.

Last night at about / o'clock, j. W.
Bell, who lives about four and one-half
miles northwest of this city, on section
II in Lincoln township, lost a large
barn and all it's contents by fire. Mr..
Robert KOrns, who lives near Mr.. Bell,
discovered the fire and hurriedly dress
ing ran over and found Mr.. Bell and
family soundly sleeping in their house.
The fire was burning so fercely that it
was impossible to save anything. Mr..
Bellies loss will reach in the neighbor-
hood of 81, 800 The barn was only
completed about two months ago.
The contents destroyed were five
good horses, two wagons. one new top
buggy, three set of harness, farming
implements of all kind and several hun
dred bushels of corn.
There was no insurance. Had the
wind been blowing from the northwest
his new house would probably have
been destroyed also. The origin of the
fire is not known. Mr. Bell says to his
knowledge there has been no fire, either
in pipe or lantern, about the barn
since the building was completed.
Mr.. Bell is an old settler in this
county, and is an industrious and No. l
man, and to have the accumulation of
years swept away in a few minutes, is
certainly very discOuraging.

Astonishing Success.

1t is the duty of every person who
has used Boschee's German Syrup to
let its wonderful qualities be known
to their friends in curing Consump-
ton, severe Coughs, Group, Asthma
Pneumonia, and in fact all throat and
lung diseases. No person can use it
with out immediate relief. Three
doses will relieve any case, and we
consider it the duty of all Druggists
to recommend it to the poor, dying
consumptive, at least to try one bottle,
as $4,000 dozen bottles were sold last
year, and no one case where it failed
was reported. Such medicine as the
German Syrup cannot be too widely
known. Ask your druggist about it.
Sample bdttles to try, sold at 10 cents.
Regular size IS cents. Sold by all
druggists and Dealers, in the United
States and Canada.
